Thread: MFC newbie --- simple problem

Do you know much of the Win32 API? If you're learning MFC, from what I've heard, knowing some of the API will help you when you need to do something that the API can do, but MFC can't. Although I dont personally know any MFC, I know the Win32 API, and I'd redraw the screen using something like UpdateWindow or InvalidateRect

If you want to redraw the entire screen, I'd probably Invalidate the entire window rect which will cause the whole area to be redrawn. Like this:

Code:

InvalidateRect(hWnd, NULL, TRUE);
UpdateWindow(hWnd);

If theres an easier way to do it in MFC, I'll let someone else post that
